Pricing questions
What is included in a $29 job post?
One job post is $29, live for 30 days from the day the post goes live, not from the purchase date. It includes unlimited applicants, full candidate profiles and contact details, listing visibility, in-app messaging, instant video interview scheduling, AI job matching, and an applicant tracking pipeline. There is no subscription and no commission on wages. Writing the post is free; you pay when you publish. Candidates are not hand-screened on this plan. Specialists pay nothing to apply.
What is included in Done-For-You Hiring?
Direct Hire starts from $490, one time per hire, part-time or full-time. If you offer more than a level usually pays, the fee and monthly rate rise with it. The fee is a flat amount set by the role and the pay you offer, never a percentage of your hire’s pay, and you see an exact quote right away after a short form (a few specialized roles are quoted by email within the day). WorkBase PH sources candidates, runs first-round interviews, checks references and background, and confirms work-readiness and equipment. Every candidate comes with an intro video or audio. You make the final hire. The service includes 30 days of support and a free replacement if the placement does not work out in that window, and offboarding is handled for you during those 30 days. You pay your hire directly. If you already paid $29 for a post, that $29 is credited toward Done-For-You Hiring.
How does payment work?
A job post is $29 at checkout through PayPal, by card or with a PayPal account. Done-For-You Hiring is paid in two parts. A deposit starts the search: pay it by card or PayPal right on your quote to secure your shortlist date. The balance is due once your hire is confirmed. The balance, and any Managed Hire monthly invoices, are paid by card or PayPal in US dollars, through a PayPal invoice we email you. No PayPal account needed. All fees are charged in USD. Invoices come from Curators Marketplace DBA WorkBase PH (Curators Marketplace is the registered business behind WorkBase PH). How to pay an invoice →
Are there refunds or a guarantee?
Job post fees are non-refundable once charged. The terms also say those fees are non-refundable once the post goes live. Done-For-You Direct Hire includes a free replacement within the first 30 days if the placement does not work out. The site does not state a cash refund of the Done-For-You fee. Optional Managed Hire, priced by role, includes a replacement at no additional recruiting cost for as long as you stay.
What is the difference between a $29 job post and Done-For-You?
Posting a job is $29 one-time per post. You review applicants and run your own interviews, and candidates are not hand-screened. Direct Hire starts from $490, one-time, part-time or full-time. Our team sources, screens and interviews, and you choose from a shortlist. With both a $29 job post and Direct Hire, you pay your specialist their agreed rate directly. Managed Hire is an optional add-on, priced by role, if you also want payroll, attendance and replacements handled.
How quickly do candidates arrive?
Hiring within 3–7 days is doable with a $29 job post, and it depends on both sides: enough specialists applying, and enough time on your end to review applications and interview. As soon as your post goes live, AI matching notifies the specialists whose skills fit, and the post is listed on Open Roles, where every specialist on WorkBase PH can see it and apply. Browse Talent ($19 for 30 days) lets you reach out first. For Done-For-You Hiring, straightforward roles can get 2–3 screened candidates within 3 business days after the deposit. Specialized or senior roles can take longer, and the expected timing comes with the quote.
